Preaching Terrorism

In light of Pat Robertson's prominence in the Christian community and his recent comments about assassinating the democratically elected leader of Venezuela, it is important to reflect on America's war on terror and its sincerity in fighting terrorism. The State Department's definition of terrorism is as follows:

Activities that (a) involve a violent act or an act dangerous to human life that is a violation of the criminal laws of the U.S.(b) appear to be intended to (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) affect the conduct of a government by ASSASSINATION or KIDNAPPING.

U.S. Code Congressional & Admin. News, 98th Congress, Second Session, 1984, Oct. 19, v. 2, par 3077, STAT. 2707 (1984).

Applying this definition, it appears that Mr. Peace And Love Christianity is advocating terrorism.

In a pathetic attempt to back-track from his terrorist stance, Robertson explained that "I said our special forces could take him out. Take him out could be a number of things including kidnapping". http://news.yahoo.com/fc/world/venezuela

Nice try Pat. You're still a terrorist.

Anytime a Muslim so much as sneezes in a way America finds disconcerting, America demands that the entire Muslim community condemn the sneezes and publicly declare its solidarity in the war against sneezes. Where is the Christian community's denunciation of their own advocates of terrorism? Where is all that turn the other cheek, love your neighbor b.s. that they claim separates Christianity from all the other religions?

The silence of the Christian community in the face of Robertson's comments belies all the love, peace Jesus stuff they have been preaching to the world.
